Notes


From Somerled, Wikipedia: Somerled (died 1164), known in Middle Irish as Somairle, Somhairle, and Somhairlidh, and in Old Norse as Sumarliði, was a mid-12th-century warlord who, through marital alliance and military conquest, rose in prominence and seized control of the Kingdom ofthe Isles. Little is certain of Somerled's origins, although he appears to have belonged to a Norse–Gaelic family of some substance. His father [was} GilleBride. Comment: The marriage alliance mentioned in this article with Malcolm (father of Sommerled's nephews) was actually with Malcolm MacHeth according to Skene, and by another Wikipedia source, Earl of Ross. Another reference, "Scotland Earls..." states as follows: "The Chronicle of John of Fordun (Continuator - Annals) records the rebellion of "Sumerled kinglet of Argyll and his nephews the sons of Malcolm Macheth" in the first year of the reign of King Malcolm IV..." http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SCOTTISH%20NOBILITY%20LATER.htm
